# Developing Jitsi Meet
|
|
|
|
## Building the sources
|
|
|
|
Node.js >= 10 and npm >= 6 are required.
|
|
|
|
On Debian/Ubuntu systems, the required packages can be installed with:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install npm nodejs
|
|
cd jitsi-meet
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build the Jitsi Meet application, just type
|
|
```
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with the library sources (lib-jitsi-meet)
|
|
|
|
By default the library is build from its git repository sources. The default dependency path in package.json is :
|
|
```json
|
|
"lib-jitsi-meet": "jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet",
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To work with local copy you must change the path to:
|
|
```json
|
|
"lib-jitsi-meet": "file:///Users/name/local-lib-jitsi-meet-copy",
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To make the project you must force it to take the sources as 'npm update':
|
|
```
|
|
npm install lib-jitsi-meet --force && make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or if you are making only changes to the library:
|
|
```
|
|
npm install lib-jitsi-meet --force && make deploy-lib-jitsi-meet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternative way is to use [npm link](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link).
|
|
It allows to link `lib-jitsi-meet` dependency to local source in few steps:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd lib-jitsi-meet
|
|
|
|
#### create global symlink for lib-jitsi-meet package
|
|
npm link
|
|
|
|
cd ../jitsi-meet
|
|
|
|
#### create symlink from the local node_modules folder to the global lib-jitsi-meet symlink
|
|
npm link lib-jitsi-meet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After changes in local `lib-jitsi-meet` repository, you can rebuild it with `npm run install` and your `jitsi-meet` repository will use that modified library.
|
|
Note: when using node version 4.x, the make file of jitsi-meet do npm update which will delete the link. It is no longer the case with version 6.x.
|
|
|
|
If you do not want to use local repository anymore you should run
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd jitsi-meet
|
|
npm unlink lib-jitsi-meet
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
### Running with webpack-dev-server for development
|
|
|
|
Use it at the CLI, type
|
|
```
|
|
make dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default the backend deployment used is `beta.meet.jit.si`. You can point the Jitsi-Meet app at a different backend by using a proxy server. To do this, set the WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_PROXY_TARGET variable:
|
|
```
|
|
export WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_PROXY_TARGET=https://your-example-server.com
|
|
make dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The app should be running at https://localhost:8080/
|
|

#### Chrome Privacy Error
|
|
|
|
Newer versions of Chrome may block localhost under https and show `NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID` on the page. To solve this open [chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost](chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost) and select Enable, then press Relaunch or quit and restart Chrome.
